The show’s creator, Josh Schwartz, just spilled in a new interview with Vulture about Jennifer‘s audition for the part of Serena van der Woodsen, which was ultimately played by Blake Lively, when she was just a teenager.

“We did not realize this at the time, but Jennifer Lawrence really wanted to play Serena and auditioned. This story came to us secondhand, but we were told she definitely auditioned and was bummed to not get it,” he said.

“We can’t remember if we saw it or not. It was ten years ago, and she would’ve been how old, 15?”

It’s safe to say Jennifer is handling the rejection just fine these days.
